How important are spikes?


I use rubber footings. How do spikes improve sound vs rubber feet?

Never saw need to put spikes on a rack that has components/amp.  Need wheels on a rack for access, mobility.

Wheels are a big mistake. Even simple brass cones would be a big improvement.

"glorified overpriced isolation stuff is generally A waste of money and provides no sonic benefit that's discernible. Positive reinforcement clearly runs rampant in this area."

I really don't know if you are serious when you say blatantly ignorant things, (this isn't the first time) or you're trying to be provocative. It has been clearly said by myself and others who are far more experienced that vibration control products from companies like Townshend, Live Vibe and many others make a profound difference in the performance of speakers as well as electronics. 

Why don't you try one or more of them instead of making uninformed statements?

"I am failing to see anyone who has ever really said there are discernible sonic benefits to using isolatIon peripheral equipment."

It's been said here hundreds of times by many members. You are either blind, or unable to read and comprehend.
